Modern vs. Traditional Stones

Once you’ve decided to incorporate natural stone into your home, the next step is to define your style. Unsure whether a modern or traditional look is right for you? Stoneworld Oxfordshire has the perfect stones to match your vision.

Modern Style

Current Trends:
Curious about what’s trending? Modern designs are currently very popular. Homeowners often treat their outdoor spaces as extensions of their indoor living areas. Have you heard about the “inside-outside” concept? It’s all about creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Characteristics:
What makes a design feel modern? Modern styles typically feature smoother surfaces, straight tight joints, and large format stones. Wondering which stones might work for this look? Consider options like Paxford Lussan Porcelain Paving.

Traditional Style

Classic Appeal:
Do you prefer a more timeless, classic look? Traditional stones offer a rustic appearance with rippled surfaces and edges, ideal for creating an authentic outdoor aesthetic.

Aesthetic:
Is a traditional design more your style? This approach is perfect for homeowners looking for a warm, timeless charm. To achieve this look, consider options like Fleur de Lays and Kandla Grey Sandstone.

Choosing Between Modern and Traditional

Not sure which style is best for your project? Your choice between modern and traditional stones ultimately depends on the overall design aesthetic you wish to achieve. While modern stones offer a sleek, contemporary feel, traditional stones provide a warm, timeless charm. Both styles have their unique advantages, but which one aligns best with your personal taste and the specific needs of your project?
